ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION

This study tested whether a patient's own processed stem cells could help the heart recover after a severe heart attack. It involved 49 adults whose hearts were pumping weakly after the attack. Doctors injected the specially grown cells directly into the heart using a catheter to…

This study tested whether doing cardiac rehabilitation at home using a mobile app works as well as traditional clinic visits. Researchers compared three approaches: clinic-only rehab, clinic plus app support, and app-only remote rehab. They measured heart health, fitness, and hos…

This study tested if using just one blood-thinning drug (ticagrelor) is safe for patients after they get a stent for a heart attack. Usually, patients take two drugs. The goal was to see if using only one could lower the risk of bleeding while still preventing future heart proble…

This study tested an experimental drug called FDY-5301, given as a single IV injection during emergency heart attack treatment. The goal was to see if the drug could safely reduce the amount of permanent damage to the heart muscle. About 120 patients who were having a specific ty…

This study tested whether injecting a patient's own stem cells directly into the heart's arteries could help the heart heal and pump better after a severe heart attack. It involved 90 people who had a recent major heart attack and compared the stem cell treatment against standard…

This large, completed Phase 3 trial tested whether an intravenous drug called FDY-5301 could help patients survive and avoid heart failure after a major, life-threatening heart attack (anterior STEMI). Over 2,300 patients who received emergency artery-opening surgery (PCI) were r…

This study aimed to define the 'normal' range for a new, faster blood test used to diagnose heart attacks. Researchers tested over 1,300 healthy adults to determine the level of a heart protein (troponin) that should trigger concern. The goal is to make the test's results more re…

This study tested whether measuring a specific protein in the blood (troponin-I) after a severe heart attack could help doctors detect dangerous bleeding inside the heart muscle. Researchers enrolled 227 adults who had just suffered a major heart attack and underwent a procedure …

This study tested a new measurement from a special heart scan to see if it could predict which patients are at high risk for a dangerous complication called cardiac rupture after a specific type of severe heart attack. Researchers enrolled 250 patients who had a major heart attac…

This study tested a new, faster blood test designed to help doctors diagnose heart attacks. Over 1,500 people who came to the emergency room with chest pain participated. Researchers compared the new test, which gives results in about 10 minutes from a finger prick, to standard l…

This study looked at how often and how long heart rhythm problems (atrial fibrillation) occur in people who have just had a heart attack. Researchers reviewed medical records of 832 patients in China to understand if these rhythm problems predict worse outcomes like death, anothe…

This study aimed to understand how often a heart attack involves bleeding inside the heart muscle, a condition called hemorrhagic myocardial infarction. Researchers analyzed existing health records from over 24,000 people across the United States who had suffered a heart attack. …

This study aimed to understand how often dangerous irregular heartbeats occur in people who have just been treated for a serious heart attack. Researchers monitored 250 heart attack patients for 24 hours after their artery-opening procedure to track these rhythm problems. The goa…

This study looked back at the medical records of over 6,000 patients who had a severe type of heart attack (STEMI). Researchers wanted to understand if the different blood-thinning drugs given after a heart attack affect the risk of bleeding inside the damaged heart muscle. The g…

This study aimed to create a prediction tool to identify which heart attack patients are at risk for bleeding inside the heart muscle before they undergo a procedure to open blocked arteries. Researchers analyzed data from 252 patients who had a specific type of heart attack and …

This study aimed to understand why some heart attacks cause sudden death while others do not. Researchers compared the age and makeup of blood clots collected from 380 people who survived a heart attack and those who died suddenly from a heart blockage. They tested the idea that …

This study aims to understand why some people have heart attacks even when they don't have common risk factors like smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or diabetes. Researchers will compare 1000 patients who had heart attacks, looking at their medical history, blood t…
